How long should a research paper be?

From my experience, standard research paper should have 3000 words (approximately 10 pages). The length of research paper depends on the research methodology, type of your research (working paper, conceptual paper, policy review etc.), research audience, and purpose of your research.

What is reliability in a research study?

Reliability refers to how consistently a method measures something. If the same result can be consistently achieved by using the same methods under the same circumstances, the measurement is considered reliable. You measure the temperature of a liquid sample several times under identical conditions.

How do you ensure reliability in research?

Assessing test-retest reliability requires using the measure on a group of people at one time, using it again on the same group of people at a later time, and then looking at test-retest correlation between the two sets of scores. This is typically done by graphing the data in a scatterplot and computing Pearson’s r.

How do you write limitations in a research study?

Describe each limitation in detailed but concise terms; Explain why each limitation exists; Provide the reasons why each limitation could not be overcome using the method(s) chosen to gather the data [cite to other studies that had similar problems when possible];

What is the difference between scope and limitation of research study?

Scope broadly refers to the extent to which you plan to study/research your topic. The limitations of the study refers to the shortcomings of the study – things you believe the research lacked or ways in which it could have been better.

What are the limitations of a qualitative research study?

Limitations of qualitative researchIt’s a time-consuming process. You can’t verify the results of qualitative research. It’s a labor-intensive approach. It’s difficult to investigate causality. Qualitative research is not statistically representative.

What are strengths and limitations?

Qualitative methodStrengthsLimitationsComplement and refine quantitative dataFindings usually cannot be generalised to the study population or communityProvide more detailed information to explain complex issuesMore difficult to analyse; don’t fit neatly in standard categories2

What are the strengths and weaknesses of a survey?

Strengths of survey research include its cost effectiveness, generalizability, reliability, and versatility. Weaknesses of survey research include inflexibility and issues with depth.

What are the issues in quantitative research?

There are four main issues in quantitative data analysis, these are:Hypotheses.Causality.Generalisability.Reliability.

Why do we need to make quantitative research?

The purpose of quantitative research is to generate knowledge and create understanding about the social world. Quantitative research is used by social scientists, including communication researchers, to observe phenomena or occurrences affecting individuals. Social scientists are concerned with the study of people.

Why is quantitative research important in our daily lives?

The quantitative approach is so vital, even in our daily lives, because in most, if not all things we do in life, we measure to see how much there is of something. Quantitative method is part of our daily life, even from birth, data are constantly being collected, assessed, and re-assessed as we grow.

Which research is better qualitative or quantitative?

Quantitative research is more preferred over qualitative research because it is more scientific, objective, fast, focused and acceptable. However, qualitative research is used when the researcher has no idea what to expect. It is used to define the problem or develop and approach to the problem.
